not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit. 15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the HOLY 1 O N E of Israel; In 2 returning and 3 rest shall ye be saved; in 4 quietness and in 5 confidence shall be your strength: 6 and ye would not. 16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. 17 7 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill. The promise of Israel’s restoration (Fulfilled - Rev 20:4) 18 8 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that 9 wait for him. P 19 3 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt 10 weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. P 20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of afflic- tion, 8 yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: P 21 8 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. P 22 8 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. P 23 8 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. P 24 8 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed

with the shovel and with the fan.

The promise of an Armageddon when CHRIST returns (Fulfilled - Rev 14:14-20 & 19:17-21)

25 8 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the 11 DAY OF THE GREAT SLAUGHTER , when the towers fall. P P 26 8 Moreover 12 the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the 11 DAY that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. P P The promise of defeat to Assyria (Fulfilled - Isa 37:36,37 - 701 BC) 27 Behold, the name of the LORD 13 cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire: P 28 13 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err. P 29 13 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. P 30 13 And the LORD shall cause his glori- ous voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indig- nation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tem- pest, and hailstones. P 31 For through the voice of the LORD 13 shall the Assyrian be beaten down, 14 which smote with a rod. P 32 13 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it. P 33 For 15 Tophet is ordained of old; yea, 13 for the 16 king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, 17 like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. P

30:15 Note the prescription for “total restoration” ( saved and strength ) before God. First God “salvages” us through repentance ( returning ) and hope ( rest ). Then He “strengthens” us to live for Him through humility ( quietness ) and faith ( confidence ). Those desiringto restore fellowship with God must follow the prescription in the order that it was given (I Jn 1:8-9).
